Offered in a pleasing binding, this volume contains the whole of Alice Meynell’s verse, issued a year after her death. Meynell (1847-1922), mother of Nonesuch Press founder Francis Meynell, was an English poet, essayist, editor, critic, anthologist, and suffragist. She was a regular contributor to popular journals, and edited collections by various poets, including Francis Thompson. The frontispiece portrait of Meynell engraved by Emery Walker (co-founder of the Doves Press) after John Singer Sargent’s drawing is wholly appropriate; she wrote a biography of the celebrated portrait artist in 1903.(ST12815)
